Abstract

A biomedical electrode connector for coupling with a biomedical electrode of the type including an electrode base and a male terminal projecting from the electrode base is provided. The electrode connector includes a jacketed housing having an internal cavity with an electrical contact material adapted for electrical coupling relation with an electrical lead wire. The jacketed housing includes a lower member positionable adjacent the electrode and having internal surface portions defining a keyhole slot therein. The keyhole slot has a first slot portion defining a first internal dimension to permit passage of the male terminal of the electrode for reception within the internal cavity, and a second slot portion defining a second internal dimension less than the first dimension whereby, upon traversing movement of the male terminal within the internal cavity, the male terminal is secured within the internal surface portions defining the second slot portion to thereby electrically couple the electrode with the electrode connector.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to biomedical electrodes, and more particularly to a biomedical electrode connector for making electrical connections between electrodes located on a patient and electronic medical devices. Background technique [0002] Biomedical electrodes are generally used in medical applications including diagnosis and treatment of various signals such as electrocardiograph procedures, maternal and / or fetal detection, and rehabilitation procedures. Traditional biomedical electrodes are secured to the patient's skin with adhesives and include male terminals or needles protruding from the electrode base. A cable in communication with the electro-medical device contains a female terminal connected to a male terminal to complete the electrical circuit between the electrodes and the electro-medical device. Various mechanisms are known for connecting a female terminal to a male terminal including a "snap" connection, a "spring c...
